“Vigas refused to rigorously follow any of the period’s tendencies, although in his work there are marks of geometric art, abstract expressionism, and even informalism, but more than anything, of a constructivist search for a universal language that fused the avant-gardes of the Old World with the iconographic Pre-Columbian legacy, and with the mythological power of traditional Latin American culture...He followed his own path without bending to the demand of others, he followed his own progressions that always were and returned to myth, to Eros and to life, and he created pieces that have an archetypal character and that manage to merge the mythical with modernity.”
